I'm very busy[^], as busy as an unemployed bloke eating cheese samiches on the sofa can p[ossibly bee.

Thinking of hitting the sofa myself. 2 hours before the wife and sprogs get home, so should manage a good hours kip. Expecting a delivery as well, had 2 this morning, so hoping the courier doesn't ring the doorbell just as I get into the deep z's...

It was -7 this morning so have left the heating on today, by the time I go wrap myself in a faux fur throw, I think i will be in perfect climatic conditions to achieve that woozy feeling when you wake up knowing you have had an ace sofa nap.

I have about an hour before I have to go get Ickle, then Eldest at 4 and finally Mrs Wife at 6. Toads are prepped ready for Toad in the Hole tonight and a bottle of cheap red is being turned into damned fine mulled.

Can't remember who, but I'm sure there's a member here who lives and/or works there. Anyway, saw this job[^] and thought I'd pass it on.

Sitting on my arse doing f'all as I type. I have one 'in progress' [would be good to pull it off; as Jonathan King said to me at the Walton Hop] and a couple more outstanding applications with no answers yet. To date I've applied for maybe only 20 jobs as the type of work I'm after is few and far between, and we've decided it's not worth chasing 'filler work' just to quit in 6 months time.

That's me Nagy, and thanks for the tip-off. I had seen it and I know the company, well, it's one of two I know, but I'm excluded as I'm not a Java guru. I've found so many jobs listed where the companies are looking for all-in-one candidates but how da heck does anyone have the time to learn all the things they're after?

Well it was worth a shout. I'm not interested in that kind of work, but I thought you might like.
